Longs Peak was my greatest accomplishment as a mountain climber. Clark's Arrow was brutal, with nearly 4,000' of class 3. I spent so much time about 12,000 feet, my head started to ache. We got hail on the way down, rain, lightning, it was all encompassing!

Yes, with the appearance of the ISS, satelite imagery has made a great step forward, and now is so detailed that it adds value to many a mountain page to have it on it. It is however quite some work to fish out of the total library of over 500.000 images the ones that are really useful. Nice thing is that the NASA and the Russian Space Agency let you freely use their material for whatever reason. Unfortunately not everybody on SP likes it and I cashier "off topic" votes here and there. Whatever!

The Pfiefferhorn is a fun mountain, one of my personal favorites. Unfortunately I failed to summit on this most recent attempt via the North Ridge , but I plan to go back for another try later this spring.
